Matteo is an excellent guide. Very easy to contact the main line which was much appreciated as my ride caused me to be late to the start. There was a break midway through which I normally wouldn't have expected but was very grateful for to get an espresso and use the restroom midway through without having to miss any information. Valleta was so beautiful, and this tour was extremely informative and really made the city come to life. I've done a lot of 'free walking tours' and this was my first 'paid up front' tour - it did not disappoint. I also loved that I was able to book the same day, unlike many other companies!

This is an excellent way to make the most of your visit to Valletta. Julia our guide taught us so much about the history of Malta and Valletta in particular. She is so knowledgeable and is able to make it all very interesting for her group. Without this tour we would have just walked aimlessly around the city, not knowing what we were looking at. Thank you Julia for making our visit enjoyable.

Look out for the yellow brolly and you’ll be scooped up by an excellent knowledgeable guide who seems to have an encyclopaedia of all things Maltese firmly embedded in her brain. She was terrific.
